Hello Birders, A great trip to Point Pelee today. ( Can one have poor trips to this paradise ??? )
The highlights on the day follow; FOS: Swamp Sparrow 1 - Marsh Boardwalk Sandhill Crane 2 Marsh Boardwalk, 1 Front Gate Ring Necked Duck 2 Front Gate 4 Marsh Boardwalk American Coot 4 - Marsh Boardwalk Blue Winged Teal - Lots Also noteworthy: Yellow Bellied Woodpecker 2 Yellow Rumped Warbler Great Horned Owl (seen from the tower at the Marsh Boardwalk). This bird was spotted by my friend Denise, who has been aching to see owls all winter. The last time in this area we believed to have seen one. Perhaps this area is a frequent roost. At the start of the De Laurier Trail a Winter Wren came within six feet. At the end of the trail Black & White Warbler made an appearance. This bird's plumage seemed in transition but I am reasonably certain of the ID. Mark Conlon & Denise Bourgeois LaSalle "Mark Conlon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
